Heavenly Court Battlefield.
"Kill!"
Battle cries shook the heavens as the Northern Plains Immortals' morale skyrocketed to unprecedented heights!
This was Juyang Immortal Venerable himself taking action — the significance was extraordinary. Every last one of his descendants and inheritors was greatly emboldened, their combat power surging dramatically.
"How can this be?!" The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal was stunned, suddenly frozen in midair, unable to move.
Before him, Liu Hui — a renowned wisdom path Gu Immortal from Northern Plains history — exhaled a turbid breath. "You nearly killed me. Just a hair's breadth away… what a pity."
Cold sweat dripped from the Heavenly Court Gu Immortal's forehead. "Your killing move clearly can't restrain me! Hmph, the one who's truly formidable is Juyang Immortal Venerable — you're nothing!"
Liu Hui sneered. "Then why don't you mention how we were all suppressed by Fate before? Besides, what does it matter whether I can or can't? Life and death, victory and defeat — that is what truly matters. Die."
He waved his hand lightly, snuffing out the other's life.
His eyes were narrow and long, his gaze bone-chillingly cold, sizing up his surroundings with ill intent. "Who's next?"
……
"You can't break through my defense. Don't waste your effort." The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal stood unmoved, his entire body enveloped in a thick halo of light, impossibly sturdy.
The Northern Plains Gu Immortal Yuyangzi drew a deep breath. He felt the brand-new, surging power coursing through his body, sweeping away all his earlier dejection and worry as confidence soared. "I'm not the same as I was a moment ago. Immortal Gu Move — Disintegrate!"
Yuyangzi's original name was Yelü Wa, and he cultivated the Law Path. After becoming a Gu Immortal, he earned merit time and again, but the injustice within the Yelü clan denied him the recognition he deserved. In a fury, he defected from the clan and became a Demonic Path Gu Immortal.
In his later years, the Yelü clan suffered setbacks, facing coordinated exclusion and suppression from multiple Golden Tribes. Yelü Wa, at the Eighth Transformation realm, was grandly invited back to serve as the clan's Supreme Grand Elder, returning to the Righteous Path.
Through sheer effort, he achieved accomplishments that ordinary Gu Immortals could hardly fathom, compelling the entire clan to bow their heads and acknowledge their past wrongs.
Yelü Wa's life story carried the coloring of legend, inspiring countless juniors. Yet even after returning to the Yelü clan and assuming the post of Supreme Grand Elder, he never reverted to his original name, still calling himself Yuyangzi.
"How can this be?!" The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal was aghast. The defense he had prided himself on kept crumbling away, then dissipated entirely.
With Juyang Immortal Venerable's support, Yuyangzi had directly reversed the power disparity.
The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal opposing him soon perished miserably at Yuyangzi's hands.
……
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three Heavenly Court members joined forces against Yelü Qi.
Yuan Ben was an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal who specialized in the Bone Path, with terrifying combat strength. In life, he was considered the foremost fighter among Northern Plains Gu Immortals — even the other four regions frequently heard of his valorous name.
His build was not imposing; if anything, he was somewhat gaunt. But the white bone armor covering his body was incredibly hard and thick. In his right hand, he wielded a long white bone spear, sweeping it left and right to stir the winds. In his left, he gripped a short white bone sword, its chilling blade light enough to unsettle the heart.
Receiving a surge of orange-yellow qi, Yuan Ben let out a long roar, and countless white bone spikes erupted from his armor.
A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal besieging him failed to dodge in time, pierced by over a hundred bone spikes and dying on the spot like a pincushion.
Yuan Ben pressed his advantage, his spear punching through the second Gu Immortal's heart, his sword cleaving off the third Gu Immortal's head.
But there was no excitement or joy on his face — only a faint melancholy. "A pity. You lack the Gu worms to display your true strength. And I received aid from my ancestors. This battle… the victory is not an honorable one!"
……
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, Dragon Lord was blasted backward like a cannonball.
A dragon's roar sounded as Dragon Lord quickly steadied himself.
Suddenly, a massive shadow slammed down upon him.
Dragon Lord looked up to see the Calamity Fate Altar bearing down like a mountain.
Dragon Lord snorted coldly, still refusing to dodge, his dragon claws clenching into fists.
"Lord Dragon Lord, let me lend you a hand!" The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal Wu Shuang aimed at Dragon Lord and unleashed his killing move.
Immortal Gu Move — Peerless!
The next moment, Dragon Lord took a deep breath and swung both fists upward at the Calamity Fate Altar overhead.
Immortal Gu Move — Chaotic Dragon Fist!
Peerless — Chaotic Dragon Fist!!
In that instant, fist shadows filled the air, unleashing an earth-shattering storm of violent fist energy. Tens of millions of fist shadows crashed forward like towering waves, battering the Calamity Fate Altar until it swayed unsteadily.
"Dragon Lord — this guy really is something!" Bing Saichuan gritted his teeth.
The Calamity Fate Altar had also received Juyang Immortal Venerable's empowerment, its overall combat power surging severalfold compared to before — yet it still could not suppress Dragon Lord.
But just then, a giant hurtled into the fray, joining the battlefield.
It was none other than Qiji Huangdu.
"Dragon Lord, die!" The Qiji Huangdu giant bellowed, opening his mouth to unleash countless pitch-black needles, all converging on Dragon Lord.
"Damn it!" The nearby Heavenly Court Gu Immortal Wu Shuang watched with eyes threatening to split from fury. He wanted to intervene but was blocked by other Northern Plains Gu Immortals.
The Northern Plains Gu Immortals had always been rich in combat experience, and these Gu Immortals summoned by the Predecessors killing move were historical powerhouses to boot. After such prolonged fighting, they had long since developed seamless teamwork.
Dragon Lord was executing his Chaotic Dragon Fist to resist the Calamity Fate Altar, while simultaneously suffering an attack from Qiji Huangdu.
This pitch-black needle killing move was devastatingly powerful, its momentum surging like a torrent. Before the needles even reached Dragon Lord, he could already feel a sharp, piercing pain.
A flash of sharp light flickered through Dragon Lord's eyes.
